[Correspondence] Tracheobronchial transplantation: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ concerns

On behalf of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, we wish to express our concerns regarding a paper by Philipp Jungebluth and colleagues, “Tracheobronchial transplantation with a stem-cell-seeded bioartificial nanocomposite: a proof-of-concept study”,1 which was published in The Lancet on Dec 10, 2011. Available information shows that the paper does not present the condition of the patient in a correct way.2
